Friday

St. Olaf — not the Golden Girls one

Golden Girls fans know about Rose from St. Olaf, and choral music fans know all about the St. Olaf Choir, which tours around the world, is featured on PBS and has put out scores of albums since its founding in 1912. Not bad for a student ensemble from a Lutheran liberal arts college in southern Minnesota. The concert is at 7:30 p.m. Friday at First Presbyterian Church, 701 Beach Drive, St. Petersburg. $15, $25. (727) 822-2031. Tickets sold at the door or at universitytickets.com.

See eckerd.edu/film/international for upcoming films in the series. All films are free in the Miller Auditorium, 4200 54th Ave. S, St. Petersburg.
